CARMARTHEN.—Last Tuesday afternoon a valuable greyhound, the property of Dr. Lawrence, of Picton Terrace, was cruelly maimed, the poor animal's tail having been entirely chopped off. At the Watch Committee, held an Thursday last, Miles Thomas, Joseph Thomas, and Frederick Rocs, were appointed police constables for the town. At the anniversary of the opening of the Tabernacle Chapel yesterday, Dr. Cbx, of 'London, preached in the morning and evening. The collections amounted to upwards of £110.- lyilliani Gorden was committed to our County Gaol last Saturday charged with stealing a pair of shoes the Property of one Mary Davies, of the parish of Llanwrda, In this county for trial at the Quarter Sessions. It should be known by dairy-farmers that there has been a conviction here, under the 68th Geo. III., for preventing abuses and frauds in the packing, weight, and sale of butter. No old casks must be used; they must too not only be quite new but properly branded and with groove and top. The coopers cannot of course deny that they have a direct interest in seeing that the Act in question does not remain a dead letter, but they say that the interest of the factor and dairy-farmer though less direct, is, in reality, much greater for inattention to the 8a1utary provisions of the Act have the effect of lowering the price of Welsh butter in the English arket. T?g? May notice was less publicly given than ought to have been by the Inspector of Weights and 24 'Oar,ures with others, that the Act would be put in foee. In the notice then issued it is set out that cer- wn pracU-. have btdy beea carded on by pprsouR Belling old butter casks, (for repacking butter therein,) not allowed according to the statute, to the injury of the regular tradesman and farmers, and disrepute to the country at large. Now this is all very fine and plausi- ble; but the Act, say the farmers, like most other Acts is bad Act, a bungling bit of legislation A cask is all the better for having been used before, and the only effect of putting in force the provisions of this old and anost mischievous Act is to oppress, by a heavy exaction, an the poor farmers in the country for the benefit of a few coopers and informers. The Carmarthenshire farmers will, we understand, petition parliament to Repeal the Act in question, and no doubt any of the Welsh Members or Mr. William Williams, who is a "elshman, &c., connected with the county, will not ()ly present any such petition but, approving its prayer, "111 also support it. SIR,—I have hitherto abstained from noticing the attempt made to impugn the accuracy of my report of J'hat was said at the Watch Committee meeting here on the 12th ult., relative to the calling out of the Military On the previous Saturday evening, but as a gentleman who spoke at the meeting referred to, industriously and loudly declares that what fell from him on the occasion, "as unreported by me, it is due to my own character, if Hot to that of the Welshman also, that I should publicly State the circumstances on which this groundless charge 18 preferred. Besides, the Carmarthen public have a claim to know whether the humble reporter is right, or be more lucky possessor of a place under Government 18 wrong. Facts-fortunately for the humble reporter Whose reports and fidelity are his wife's and family's we&d—render the task a very easy one. j. Mr. Morse says he never used the word Dragoons." ?Ubtless he forgets what he said; for I certainly heard hltn Use the word he now repudiates: I heard him as -tinctly as ever I heard any thing in my life. But Opposing my own cars at the moment deceived me ?nd it would be the first time they ever did) the &r8 of other gentlemen who also heard this word ?"d not have deceived them also. However to set the Jitter at rest I can convict Mr. Morse out of his own '?th. Let me ask who else could he possibly have ?eant to have drawn their swords ?—the Infantry have ?one. Again, he says that he never used "Lieutenant kZi. rwan's" name, and that he never aiid, It was too bad "?e Lieutenant Kirwan flourishing his sword over the ?Ple's heads, and riding over women and children." lnbeg to state that he did say so the very words are on note-book, and I am perfectly convinced that he t?"?the identical words as contained in the report. Ile says th? he never said anything about riding over w en or children. Now, the part above quoted is the ?n1 )y part of the report which he says is a gross misrc- presentation yet in another part, almost the sen- T, before, and which he 7;? allowed to be co?-e?,  these words The whole affair had arisen out of a dm '?R spree, and was that to be the pretext for soldiers t," "Ier people@ or to ride into shops and order people t ??g?ow, Sir, stated these facts in self-defence, I  that how unpalatable soever they may be, that no- bn.? ?? either blame me—or permit any attempt, c?!t'?

ICARMARTHENSHIRE AGRICULTURAL…
CARMARTHENSHIRE AGRICULTURAL ASSO- CIATION. It is, we believe, allowed by everybody that there was a much better show of fine cattle of all kinds here yester- day than there had been on any former occasion. The details are not without interest to some persons, besides those immediately concerned, as members of the society, or exhibitors at the show and as these details will keep, we shall best consult the general wish as well as our own convenience, in forbearing to furnish a hurried and necessarily a very imperfect account Instead of doing so, we shall in our next number supply our readers with a good & full report. Meantime, to satisfy curiosity the fol- lowing leading features may not be unacceptable. They are gleaned from our own reporter's ample account; but, it is barely just to say that we are mainly indebted to Mr. Goode-the urbanity of whose manners arc equalled only by his zealous, well-directed, and we are glad to add, successful exertions to promote the prosperity of the Agricultural Association of which he is Secretary. We may state then that upwards of;CI40 was given away by the society in Prizes. For every Premium there were from 6 to 15 competitors, & the stock of most of them was worthy of commendation. The Judges of the stock were Messrs. Lcnnard of Ivy Tower, near Tenby, and Rees Williams, Esq., of Manest Court, Brecon; their decisions gave universal satisfaction. The dinner took place at the Ivy Bush Hotel. The President of the society was in the chair, D. A. S. Davies Esq., M.P. occupying the Vice-Chair, upwards of 150 sat down to dinner, amongst whom were all the leading agriculturists of Carmarthenshire and a great many from the adjoining county of Pembroke. The dis- turbed state of the country was incidentally discussed, the Hon. Col. Trevor and Mr. Saunders Davies, as well as Mr. Morris, severally delivered their opinions on the subject.

Goode Nvts [A full report will be given next week.] 'ki 0 I MARTIAL LAW.—Last w„vk vv.. ionlrajrctetf tU* stafo- I ment that martial law was to be applied to Carmarthen- shire, we are now authorised to state that it was never intended to apply it. AIR. SAUNDERS DAVIES, M.P.—The parishioners of the parish of St. Ishmael, recently met, and petitioned the tithe impropriator (Mr. Saunders Davies, M. P.) for a reduction of tithes. That gentleman in answer, says he is quite ready to come forward and meet the exigen- cies of the times. This, of course, has given much satisfaction. —■ ARREST OF JOHN JONES, AND DAVID DAVIES.— Some nights since an attack was made upon the Gwen.- wyth Iron Works at Pont-y-Berem by a number of men; they surrounded the house at between 1 and 2 o'clock in the morning, and fired several shots, commenced battering at the door, demanding to have the managing clerk, Mr. Slocombe, brought out to them. His wife in the most heroic manner presented herself at an upstairs window, and demanded who they were, and what they wanted with her husband ? The answer of the leader was I am Rebecca, and we demand to see him instantly." The wife, however, firmly refused, stating that her husband was not there. Finding that they could not gain admission, they said Mr. "Newman the proprietor of the works, in whose house Mr. Slocombe resides, has behaved well, and we will not hurt him; but if Mr. Slocombe is not out of the country within a week, we will make him a head shorter they then fired some more shots, and made off. It appears that several persons who were present at his outrage had been forced from their houses to join them, and consequently infor- mation was given to the magistrates that the ringleaders were John Jones, alias ShioniYscyborfawr, a man of about 30 years of age, and David Davies, alias Dai y Cantwr, or David the Singer, and that before they proceeded to Mr. Newman's house they had met on the Bryn Dylcth Mountain, and, having separated, had gone by the way of Pont y-Bcrem, and Trymsaran, pressing men to join Slng incii to join them they then proceeded to a house called the Stag and Pheasant, where they disguised themselves, and proceeded to Mr. Newman's. In consequence of this information, warrants were granted, and placed in the hands of Inspector Tierney, who with 18 men of A division, and accompanied by a person well acquainted with the country, last Thursday week scoured the mountains, searching every public-house and suspicious place, and at a public-house near the Five Roads they succeeded, about 12 o'clock last Thursday night week, in apprehending David Davies, who was immediately handcuffed and conveyed in a cart to Llanelly, where he was placed in the custody of the military at the work- house. On Friday further efforts were made, & at about 11 o'clock Jones was apprehended at a place in the mountains called the Tumble. Both the prisoners were conveyed to Carmarthen for examination. The first examination took place on Monday before Col. Trevor and Mr. Prytherch reporters were denied admittance. The prisoners were then remanded until Thursday, and again after an examination of several hours, were once more remanded unul Monday next. Several charges were brought against them amongst which was one for destroying Spacidcrs Bridge toll house. An inquest was held before Daniel 1 rice, Esq., coro- ner, on the body of James Williams, a farm servant who had met his death the previous night on the road between Talley and Llandilo. lie was driving a cart to coal or lime in company with another person who was driving a cart in advance of him. It is supposed the deceased's horses took fright, but at any rate they passed the leading cart at a quick pace and" soon got out of sight. The driver of the latter following found the un- fortunate man at a short distance lying on the ground in a state of insensibility. Another person who was by hurried off for a medical man who promptly attended, but the deceased died in about 10 minutes after he was discovered from some very severe injuries he had re- ceived on the head. He was supposed to have fallen or been thrown out of the cart in endeavouring to stop the horses. Verdict, Accidental Death." SUGGESTIONS SUGGESTING !-One of the gentlemen of the press (not an Irishman) down here, as a reason for declining to say anything in defence of the Justices, observes that without making suggestions on the cir- cumstances attending the case, which, however, will readily suggest themselves, I should here leave the matter to the judgment of the public." NARBERTII.—The second troop of the Castlemartin Cavalry which have been here for a fortnight, are this day expected to be relieved by the first troop. The duties of the yeomanry arc at present not very arduous, as the neighbourhood is in a state of perfect tranquillity and gratitude to the Giver of all good for the late bount tiful harvest appears to be a very predominant feeling. CATTLE FAIRS.—At Aberayron and Pont-rhyd-fen- diged fairs held a few days since, we are glad to state that cattle fetched better prices than, considering the recent depression, might have been expected. Two 12-gun brigs are ordered to be built at Pembroke Yard as quickly as possible. They arc of a peculiar des- cription on plans designed by Sir William Symonds, to compete with others constructed by Mr. Fincham, and Mr. White, at Chatham and Portsmouth. ARERYSTWITII TURNPIKE MEETING.—On Wednes- day hist a meeting of the Aberystwith Turnpike Trustees took place at the Town Hall—W. C. Gilbertson, Esq., in the chair. Amongst the Trustees present, we ob- served :-George Parry, Esq., Llidiade, J. Davies, Esq., Pantyvedwen, T. O. Morgan, Esq., -—— Morris, Esq., Aberllolwyn, the Rev. Mr. Richards, Carrog, James Hughes, Esq., Glanrheidol, and James Morrice, Esq., Wallog. Mr. James Hughes commenced the business of the meeting by reading a letter which Col. Powell had received from Mr. Manners Sutton, acting on behalf of Sir James Graham, the Home Secretary. This letter (which is an answer to Col. Powell's letter, pressing upon Sir James Graham the necessity of Mr. Hall's coming to Aberystwith to examine the accounts), states, that Mr. Hall cannot now return to South Wales, his presence in London being indispensable but that it is probable a Commission of enquiry will be appointed for South Wales generally, and that Aberystwith will be included within its range. After this announcement, a conversation arose amongst the different Trustees, the result of which was, that inasmuch as Mr. Hall could not come to examine the accounts, the Trustees should themselves forthwith proceed to examine them; and that 5 Trustees should form themselves into a committee for that purpose. At the suggestion of Mr. George Parry, it was agreed that the examination should go back as far as the year 1833, the time of passing the present Local Turnpike Act. In the course of the meeting, it was stated by Mr. James Hughes, the clerk, and assented to by the Surveyor and Treasurer of the Trust, that all the vouchers for payments in respect of the Trust for the last 10 years are immediately forth- coming. For further particulars of the meeting, see Resolutions in another part of our paper. Passing over for the present the extraordinary conduct of Ministers in sending down Mr. Hall to examine the accounts of the lower part of the county of Cardigan, because they broke out into open outrage, and yet refusing to send him or anybody else to the upper division of Aber- ystwith, because they neither break down gates nor burn hay ricks—passing overall that, we (have a few remarks to make upon the resolution which the Aber- ystwith Trustees have came to, of examining into the correctness of their own accounts—these said accounts having once before being regularly examined and passed by them, and found to be all correct. If this second examination be for their own private gratification, we have nothing to say; but we always understood that the great object of the enquiry was not to please the Trustees, but to satisfy the Public Now, what more satisfaction can the public have at this second examina- tion than they had at the first the same accounts in both cases are to be examined, and by the same parties. Suppose the result of this examination will bef as it of course will be (for the Trustees are not going to stultify themselves), suppose the result of this second examina- tion will be that the accounts are right to a penny— will this satisfy the Public ? Considering that it will be the verdict of interested parties who are actually trying themselves ? On the other hand, suppose there will be some errors discovered—that will compel a further and a more searching enquiry for it will be immediately said if the Trustees found these errors in their own accounts, what would an impartial and an unflinching scrutiny by strangers do ? For our own part, we be- lieve the accounts to be correct, and, believing that, we think it cruel to the officers of the Trust to compel them to produce vouchers and papers, aad throw away their time at an examination which cannot be the final one. If the Trustees have their time hanging heavy on their hands, we think they may as innocently kill it by turning over endless Turnpike bills as any other, but they must keep in mind that the thing must be done over again. In our Welsh circular, it is stated as the grievance which is first of all to be remedied-I. To have the Turnpike Accounts publicly examined in the Town Hall by some stranger of competent author- rity, assisted by some of the inhabitants conversant with accounts, and unconnected with the Trust, and that these accounts be published annually in the same detail as County Stock." The truth and accuracy of that circular as an exponent of public feeling has been universally admitted and we have no hesitation in saying that the public examination of the Turnpike Accounts by some competent persons wholly uncon- nected with the Trust, is as loudly demanded by the public now, as it was when the circular was penned.— From our Aberystwith Reporter. On Tuesday last, as a fishing boat was rowing in the offing before the Castle, at Aberystwith, the fisher- man saw an object a little way off which several sea- birds were picking at. -c Upon approaching they found it was a dead body. Upon taking it into the boat it was discovered that its head and arms and legs were gone—supposed by being tossed about against the rocks. Having landed the body, It was deposited in the bone-house, in the church-yard of St. Michael's church. It has the remains of a blue pilot cloth trousers on, with a white flannel-waiscoat, but no appearance of any upper coat. He must have been a stout man between 30 and 40 years, and the general impression is that he has been in the water at least 7 or 8 months. THE HARVEST.—The harvest has been all gathered in the upper division of Cardiganshire. Perhaps not in the memory of man has it been known to be more abundant or gathered in in better condition. There have been solemn thanksgivings for this crowning blessing in all the churches and chapels within the district; and we are gi-xcr to say that there is every appearance that the poor man's potato crop will prove equally abundant. GLAMORGANSHIRE.—A contemporary in this county, distinguished more by powerful writing than by duly quoting the papers from which his twaddle columns are partly made up, observes, that far the great- est part of Glamorganshire will escape the pollu- tion of Rebeccaism. Here just grievances, if they exist at all, are few in number, slight in importance, and will, we feel assured, be remedied as soon as known. Here the gentry are charitable, active, and studious to promote the welfare, physical, and moral, of their poorer brethren—and, above all, here, we hope, there is sum- cient confidence in the Laws of the Land, and in their pure administration, to make all recourse to riot and violence wantonly superfluous an d universally hateful We think it impossible for any fair and candid writer, who would treat of Welsh disturbances, not hitherto to have felt oppressed with the difficulties of his subject. He would fear lest on the one hand there should appear a want of sympathy for real grievances, and on the other, that he should fail in the just expression of his indigna- tion at the means by which such grievances were sought to be redressed. It was in the middle course that we endeavoured to shape our path. But now midnight violence has been aggravated by Arson and Murder. Juries have tampered with their oaths, and by so doing have sheltered Assassins." INCENDIARISM. (GLAMORGANSHIRE.) —A farm- house, stacks of corn, &c., valued altogether at £600, were burnt at Pentretrusgoed, near Pontneathvaughan, .LN ii- Jenkin Williams, on the 97th ult., the property of Mr. Jenkin Williams, farmer. Every exertion was made by the neighbours to save the property, but the raging element bid them de- fiance. Mr. Superintendent Davies of Merthyr, though not in his district, has caused every enquiry to be made with a view of ascertaining how the fire originated. The ends of justice demand that we should not mention any names at present. The utmost excitement prevails m the parish of Ystradfellteg, where the buildings were situated. The property was not insured. Why do not people insure their property ? Last Tuesday, between the hour of 11 and 12, a per- son either to save the toll at the ferry, or to save a few yards in the road, took his horse across the river just from the Town-Hall, Swansea, to Fabian's Bay and on reaching the opposite side got the horse fast on a bank of mud. After vainly trying to extricate himself the horse sank gradually into the mud, and would shortly have been stifled, but for the exertions of some persons who procured some horses and ropes, and endeavoured to drag the horse out, but from the breaking of the ropes that was not effected for half an hour. As the tide was rapidly coming in further delay would in a few minutes have been fatal. Ultimately a chain was procured from the excavators at the New Cut and fastened, to the ex- hausted horse, by which means he was at last dragged out. After being well washed from the mud, he seemed much refreshed and had received no material injury. The persons engaged in this affair deserve great praise as the mud was very soft, and some cvpn stripped them- selves to effect their object. FATAL AcclDFNT.-An accident of a most serious nature, attended with loss of life, occurred to Mr. Griffiths, woollen manufacturer, Castle Street, Swansea, on Tuesday night last. It appears that Mr. Griffiths, as was his wont, before retiring to rest, went to his factory, at the back of his house, to see if all was right, and having been longer than usual, his wife became alarmed and proceeded in search of him, when, unfor- tunately, she saw him stretched on the ground bleedin" profusely, having, it is supposed, fallen from unexpectedly coming in contact with some part of the machinery, there being a wound on his head and arm. Medical I assistance was immediately procured, but it was of no avail, as he breathed his last on Thursday morning. GOWER, Poop LAW.—On Tuesday at a public meet- ing of the magistrates, clergy, freeholders, farmers, and rate-payers of the several parishes of Gower, a petition to the Poor-law Commissioners for a separation, of the parishes of the district of Gower from the Swansea Union was adopted. Almost immediately afterwards, another meeting was held in the same place, at which a petition was adopted, having for object the relief of the Gower parishes from the support, of the Rural Police.

! POOR LAW.—(CARMARTHEN.)…
POOR LAW.—(CARMARTHEN.) The Rev. Mr. Rowlands, Vicar of Llanllwch, and Chaplain to the Carmarthen Workhouse, presents his compliments to the Editor of The Welshtnan, and, rely- ing on his well-known fairness and impartiality of cha- racter, submits for publication to-morrow, the subjoined copy of a letter from Somerset House, with a remark or two suggested by its persual. (COPY.) Poor Law Commission Office, Somerset House, 29th September, 1843. Sir,—I am directed by the Poor Law Commissioners to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 19th inst. transmitting a copy of a minute made at a meeting of the Carmarthen Union, held on the 18th instant, relating to the re-appointment of the Rev. Daniel Rov/lands to the office of Chaplain to the Union Workhouse, which he had resigned also enclosing copies of Mr. Rowlands' written resignation, and of a letter addressed to him by the Clerk to the Guardians upon his re-election as Chaplain, and of his reply thereto. The Commissioners' attention has been drawn to what they consider the improper tone of some part of the ob- servations of Mr. Rowlands, by which his resignation was I nccompanicd. The Commissioners allude more particu- larly to the following sentence—" The popular feeling is decidedly hostile to the New Poor Law, and views with disgust and abhorrence the salaries paid to its various officers." The Commissioners, moreover, learn, through their Assistant Commissioner, that whilst Mr. Rowlands held the office of Chaplain to the Workhouse he performed its duties irregularly and negligently. Under these circumstances the Commissioners think that there are reasonable grounds for doubting, whether Mr. Rowlands,if lie were to resume the duties of Chaplain, would discharge them satisfactorily. They would regret also that any clergyman of the Church of England should be placed in a position in which his official duties com- pelled him to expose himself to the feelings of disgust and abhorrence" connected with the payment of the sa- laries, if such feelings really exist, or whilst lie is con- vinced that such a weight of popular hostility presses on the New Poor Law, should be identified with the details of its daily administration. The Commissioners, therefore, would suggest whether it might be advisable-that Mr. Rowlands should withdraw his acquiescence in his re-appointment by the Guardians, and that they should thereupon proceed to elect as Chap- lain some other Clergyman who may be willing to under- take the duties of the office. I am, sir, your most obedient servant, (Signed) W. G. LUMLEY, Assistant Secretary. W. D. Phillips, Esq., Clerk to the Guardians of the Carmarthen Union. TO THE EDITOR OF THE WELSHMAN. Sin,-It will be seen by the above letter signed 'NV G. Lumley, Assistant Secretary," that the terms in which my conscience dictated the conveyance of my re- signation of the Workhouse Chaplaincy, have given offence to the Poor Law Commissioners at Somerset House, a circumstance which I regret, but cannot help. As the terms employed by the Commissioners in refer- ence to my conscientious expression of opinion are viewed by me, with as little favor as mine apparently are by them, the better way-at all events at present-is for us to have no further correspondence with each other. I will therefore not address the Poor Law Commissioners at all, but will instead, Sir, address myself to the public through your columns. The first observation I have to make is, that my resig- nation was dictated alone by a sense of what was right: my conscience told me that in the present disturbed and greatly distressed state of the country, the emoluments of the office ought to be resigned, and I accordingly sent in my resignation, coupled with an offer of co- operating with the neighbouring Clergy for the gra- tuitous performance of clerical duty at the Workhouse- coupled also with the conveyance of my conviction that the Welsh public is hostile to the New Poor Law, and views the salaries paid to its various officers with disgust and abhorrence. Sir, I see no reason to recall a single syllable which I have said against the great unpopularity, and I will now add the great iniquity also, of the New Poor Law. It is, Sir, a stain upon the statutes, and a disgrace to a country calling itself Christian, and at the same time passing laws that are contrary to God's command, and to the pure precepts of universal benevolence taught by our blessed Lord and Master. 1 am equally opposed to the principle and to the practice of the New Poor Law; and because I cannot reconcile it to my conscience to sit a silent spectator of the profligate expenditure under it, or of the cruelty and unchristian character of its enactments, I am to be pointed out as a person negligent of duty and irregular in its performance. The least unequivocal proof of how little I have to fear from any enquiry into my conduct is to be found in the fact, that I call upon my accusers to bring forward the evidence on which they have dared to make allegations contrary to truth. I desire to be confronted with my accusers. Meantime, I fimg back the imputation with as much scorn as my sacred cha- racter will permit me to feel towards any frail and erring brothers. As to the unpopularity in South Wales of the New Poor Law, there can be a doubt entertained by no man. It has been over and over again denounced at great public meetings held in this neighbourhood. Thousands upon thousands ir. thir of the "ount-y have ront up petitions to the Queen praying her most Gracious Ma- jesesty to dissolve the present Parliament in order that another Parliament may take measures for providing fur the wants of the people by other means than build- ing Bastilles. Why, Sir, is not the Carmarthen Work- house at this very moment filled with soldiers ?-is it not supportedbv the sword ?—and is it not generally believed that if the troops were not kept there for its defence, that the safeguard of the law would be insufficient to protect it from the force of an exasperated and half- famished populace ? Is not there evidence enough of the unpopularity of the New Poor Law even in this one unanswerable fact alone ? The Carmarthen Workhouse is garrisoned—and as a friend to order I am glad of it, for sure I am, that, but for the soldiers, one stone would not long stand upon another. I am, &c. &c. Carmarthen, Oct. 4th, 1843. DANIEL ROWLANDS. [Irrespectively of the salutary principle of the measure so strongly condemned by the Rev. Gentleman in the above letter, we must observe, that the fact of the asserted unpopularity amongst the people of South Wales of the poor-law itseif and its operation, does not admit of any doubt whatever.—• Welshman.]

EXTRAORDINARY EXPRESS FROM…
Loss 01" Tillt INDIAN MAIL.—By extraordinary ex- press from Marseilles, intelligence has been received of the total loss of the Hon. East India company's steam ship Memnon, off Cape Guardafui, on the coast of Africa, near to Aden, on the evening of the 1st of August. The crew, passengers, and treasure were sated, but the mails and the effects of the passengers Went down in the wreck. The commander was Captain Powell. Much blame is attached on this occasion to him. She struck on a reef after the commander had been warned by the officer on watch of the vicinity of land, and the consequent danger. The mails are en- tirely lost: and it is to be regretted that, owing to their late arrival at Bombay the preceding month, there had been an accumulation of mails from Madras and Cey- lon. The Memnon has entirely gone to pieces, and nothing has been saved but five cases of treasure, which were fortunately on deck at the time of the accident. There were a hundred and seventy persons on board at -the time of her striking. MELANCHOLY FATALITY ON BOARD THE UNICORN. The following are some official particulars relative to the melancholy fatality on board the above vessel :— "Admiralty, October 2, 1843. Sir—I am commanded by my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to transmit to you herewith, for the information of the committee for managing the affairs of Lloyd's, extracts from correspondence received from Vice Admiral Sir Edward Owen, respecting assistance rendered to the British schooner Unicorn. I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, (Signed) JNO. BARROW. lJ W. Dobson, Esq., Secretary, Lloyd's." ENCLOSURES. Extracts of a communication from her Britannic Ma- jesty's Vice Consul at Alexandretta, to her Britannic Majesty's Consul General for Syria, dated August 4th, I Bia:- I have the honour to report for your information that the British schooner Unicorn, having laden at this port a full cargo of wools and other commodities for Leghorn, is now lying here in a disabled condition, arising from death and sickness among her crew; the master (Le Rosignol) died yesterday, having previously lost two of his men, and the rest of his crew, consisting of five men, including the mate, are in a sickly and helpless state." Extract of a letter from Capt. Walpole of her Majes- ty's ship Vernon, to Vice Admiral Sir Edward Owen, dated Beyrout, Aug. 21, 1843:- On the 25th inst., in consequence of a letter re- ceived on the previous day from Colonel Rose, from Lieutenant Colonel Neale, the Vice Consul at Alexan- dretta, a copy of which is forwarded herewith, I dis- patched the Geyser to that port with the petty officer and men named in the margin, to assist in navigating the Unicorn to Leghorn, and after towing the said lIchooner out for about seven hours, she returned to this port the following day." ITALY.—They write from Milan, on the 22d ult., that a number of persons had been committed to prison on different points of the Lombardo-Venetian territory. The Commander-general of Lombard V had been directed to hold a few battalions of infantry and a brigade of light cavalry in readiness to march into Bologna, should 1,he authorities of that city require their co-operation GREECE-Private letters fiom Malta of the 24th ult. assert, that the affairs of Greece were likely to assume a serious turn, and that it was very probable that King Otho would be ultimately compelled to abdicate. Accounts from Syria represent that country as tran- quil, with the exception of an attack of the Metualis on the Convent of Arcisa, in the Lebanon, which they plundered; murdering two of the Maronite clergy.
